Once again Editor Juli Rew has created a fantastic anthology of science-fiction, anthropology, and fantasy. This is the third anthology I have read of hers and I was not let down. Third flat iron anthologies are filled with unique stories written by talented authors on topics that you don't normally see. They are smart, educated, and creative. Stories include a post office of fairies, clones cloning clones, prenatal gene weaving on a 30 year fixed, and a creepy carnival scene. But all the storie...
I won this book in the Goodreads "first readers" giveaway, and for a free book, well, it was worth what I paid for it. The back cover blurb says it is collection of "SF/fantasy/horror/humor stories with a mathematical twist." Apart from the fact that there some mentions of mathematics here and there, that seems pretty misleading. I got the impression that the publisher -- "Third Flatiron," which I assume is someone's home business as the book is clearly a print-on-demand job from Lightning Sourc...
I won this in a goodreads giveaway.In the Blood (Ken Altabef):This was an odd story about memorization, including with numbers. I wanted to know more about the characters' backstories by the end.Garden of Fog and Monsters (Michelle Ann King):I didn't see much math in this one. I also thought it was too abstract.From Here to the Northern Line (Edoardo Albert):Aliens who are just like humans, down to Asperger's, discover a new tube and tube stops that shouldn't have been discovered. I enjoyed that...
I won Astronomical Odds, edited by Julianna Few, from Goodreads.Astronomical Odds is a collection of thirteen short stories with the central theme of chance and odds. Several of the tales have surprise endings, some conclusions simply cause the reader to pause and think. Each story is an easy read, no matter its genre. I was able to read the entire volume in one day.Astronomical Odds is for readers who enjoy science fiction, futuristic, and fantastical stories. Several of the stories will especi...
I thoroughly enjoyed this collection. I will definitely be looking up some of these authors in the future. I wanted to write about my favorite story in the book but I just can't decide. I will say that the "League of Lame Superheroes" was ridiculously entertaining.
Third Flatiron’s latest science fiction anthology, Astronomical Odds, is another great collection of short stories. As always, there are some that I loved more than others, and there’s a good mix of sad, uplifting, exciting, scary, silly and funny stories. The stories that appealed to me the most were ‘Garden of fog and monsters’ by Michelle Ann King, ‘Mother of all’ by John McColley, ‘The shamrock award’ by Jennifer R Povey, ‘The league of lame superheroes’ by James Aquiline and ‘Casualties’ by...
I got a free review copy from the publisher. Astronomical Odds is a collection of fourteen sci fi stories by seasoned authors and first timers, on the theme the title suggests.The first story, In The Blood, by Ken Altabef, is the story of a boy incredibly good at math. But is his miraculous mathematical mastery merely a mental feat, or is it an extension of a greater talent. Slow paced and steady,the story left some food for thought as it ended. A good story, but not my favorite one among this l...
